We sold our home a few months ago, thinking it was a buyers market and would be easy to get another. Not so!!! Sure, there are many homes for sale and many that look like great prices, but they are all bank owned or short sales (sellers with multiple mortgages trying to get the banks to agree to let them out of them for less than they owe, the bank controls this one also). With the help of my good friend Alyssa as our agent, she took use to dozens and dozens of homes to look at. So many of them looked good on paper, but then looking at them they were all stripped. People literally yank out their cabinets, shutters, ceiling fans, basically anything of value and sell them before they are kicked out. It was somewhat demoralizing. We had a couple of deals not work out. We bid on this one almost 4 months ago and it finally went through. And it actually was not stripped at all.
The boys and all of us plan to spend a lot of time here in the pool.
We are happy to be able to move into a place we hope to stay for the rest of the kids schooling and childhoods. We love our area and this place was just a few miles away. The kids will finish out the school year in their current school before moving to the new one next year.
We are happy to find a place, but moving means we will be in a new ward at church and have to leave our current one. We have loved our ward and the friends we have gained and grown attached to. We don't want to lose any of them.

Aww how exciting yet scary at the same time. It's so hard to move and start all over. Good luck!
Who said it would NEVER happen...
HOORAY for you!! We did it. You got the perfect house for your adorable little family. And no worries, now were only 2 minutes away instead of 1 minute away.
